Donald Trump is not a Republican. He's a Socialist.
He is now hell-bent on changing our nation from a free-market Democratic Republic to a Socialist collective.
Proof certain:
(1) Trump continues to advocate for the $600/week federal unemployment insurance. Combined with the average state benefits around $400, the average unemployed American was being paid around $52,000 per year TO NOT WORK. This is insane! Given the federal minimum wage is $7.25 - equivalent to roughly $16,000/annually - why would any low-wage people work at this point? I've seen this first hand here in NC, where adults simply refuse to take jobs that are available and, instead, sit at home on their ass and collect $1,000/week. With adults unavailable from the work pool, guess who's working instead? That's right: Kids! 14 and 15 year olds are now having to pick up the slack from lazy ass adults.
Why is this happening? Trump's (and Democrats') pure Socialist policy of paying (read: rewarding) the unemployed to not work.
(2) On Monday, Trump floated the possibility of taking unilateral action if a deal could not be made with Democrats, claiming he has the power to step in and curtail Congress should there be a need. The president specifically noted the moratorium on housing evictions that recently expired. Trump said:
"A lot of people are going to be evicted but I’m going to stop it because I’ll do it myself if I have to," Trump said at the White House. "I have a lot of powers with respect to executive orders and we’re looking at that very seriously right now."
This is equally insane and another example of pure Socialist policy. Sure, preventing renters from being evicted will help renters, but what about the owners? Obviously, such a policy harms all property owners who rent out to tenants. Moreover, it again rewards renters for NOT PAYING THEIR RENT, and most importantly, ENCOURAGES RENTERS NOT TO PAY THEIR RENT. Why would anyone pay their rent anymore if there is no consequence for NOT paying rent?!? If Trump were to prevent evictions via Executive Order, he would clearly cement himself as a dyed-in-the-wool Socialist. Period.
This is unabashed Socialism.
(3) Finally, the obvious huge fallacy in Trump's "logic": If he succeeds in continuing the $600/week fed unemployment money, why would he even consider an executive order preventing evictions?!? Under this scenario, the average two-person household IF UNEMPLOYED, could be receiving $2,000/PER WEEK TO SIT ON THEIR ASS AND DO NOTHING! This is $8,000+ per month. How the hell could "normal people" not afford to pay their rent, if they're collecting $8K/month in unemployment benefits?
Answer: Trump is a Socialist plain and simple. The facts speak for themselves.
Rewarding people to remain unemployed for extended periods of time is NOT the American way. If Trump and Democrats have their way, this situation will continue through AT LEAST the beginning of 2021 if not longer.
We don't live in a Socialist collective. This is a capitalist society, and it needs to stay that way.
Trump is a damn fool.
